The 2 variants of Mongolian are effectively different languages - the words in
traditional Mongolian and Cyrillic Mongolian have completely different spellings
and the rendering rules for the 2 variants are also completely different
(Mongolian Cyrillic follows basically the same rules as other Cyrillic scripts
whereas traditional Mongolian is more like Arabic, with the glyphs of the
letters changing form according to their position in the word, etc.).

So in my view the best solution is to treat Mongolian as 2 languages (plan E):
  language 1) traditional Mongolian; and 
  language 2) Mongolian Cyrillic.

Then Mongolian Cyrillic can be included in Western along with the other Cyrillic
variants; and traditional Mongolian can be included in CTL, alongside Arabic.

This also solves the problem of mixing the 2 variants of Mongolian in the same
document (assuming you can embed Western in CTL and vice versa), and the problem
of older documents written in Cyrillic.

And since plan E is basically a combination of A and B, presumably it should
also be fast and easy?


(BTW I don't think plan D works - it's not possible to define a transliteration
between the traditional and Cyrillic scripts; the words are actually different,
and you can't just change from one to the other by just changing the script.)
